Detox Week 1
Practicing yoga is a great way to detox your body. Using a series of specific asanas and deep breathing techniques can help trigger your purification system.

The body wants, and knows how to remove impurities, although we generally intake more toxins than it can remove on a daily basis. Failure to eliminate the pollutants from our systems can cause us to feel tired, bloated and unfocused.

Your yoga practice can easily become your detoxification practice. Yoga increases the rate at which your lymph and blood transport through the body, releasing toxins more effectively. Healthy abdominal compression along with mindful twisting and stretching can stimulate your digestive juices. The calmness and restorative effects of yoga help turn off the autonomic nervous system and turn on the more healing and nurturing parasympathic nervous system.

Breathing exercises alone or in combination with the poses and postures help boost energy levels. As increased amounts of oxygen enter the body and more space becomes available for the oxygen, prana, (life force energy) is released. The more you detox the cleaner and clearer the energy channels become. The results…. an abundance of physical and mental energy and a wholehearted and joyous approach to life.
